Abstract
Introduction Age is one of the main factors in the onset of cancer. The incidence of cancer increases with age. The incidence rate increases rapidly from the age of 40 [...]
Objective: Cancer is closely related to age, and the incidence of cancer increases with age. However, there are few studies on the relationship between age and clinical characteristics of lung cancer. Patients and Methods: We collected all the consecutive lung cancer cases from 2012 to 2017 in our hospital and divided them into 6 groups according to their ages: [less than or equal to]40 y/o, 41-50 y/o, 51~60 y/o, 61~70 y/o, 71~ 80 y/o and >80 y/o. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of these patients were evaluated. Results: There were 1143 cases diagnosed in our hospital from 2012 to 2017. There were more non-smokers (p80 y/o group were associated with a higher mortality risk, while the patients in other groups had the similar mortality risk. Conclusion: There are some differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis among different age groups. The reasons behind the phenomenon are largely unclear. The age should be taken into account when we develop clinical trials. Keywords: age, lung cancer, clinical characteristics, clinical trials
